REFLECTION FOR YOUNG PEOPLE – by Lisa-Marie Calderone-Stewart

Building a tower takes a lot of planning, a lot of money and a lot of labour. So do other things!

Have you ever had a dream about accomplishing something – a dream that had you planning, thinking and working in order to make it come true; a dream that you devoted lots of time and energy to? What is that dream? Are you still working on it? Or have you abandoned it?

Some young people throw themselves into a sport, a hobby, a talent or an interest. They become known for their accomplishments in that area.

What young person of your age do you know to be a very talented dancer? musician? artist? athlete? debater? writer?

How much energy and dedication do these people invest in developing their skill?

Into what area do you put the most time, energy and enthusiasm? How successful or accomplished do you feel?

How much time, energy and enthusiasm do you invest in your relationship with God? in your involvement with your parish? in your relationships with your family? How can you give more of yourself to these areas?
